(Posted on Ancestry Pike and Upson boards, GenForum Pike and Upson Boards.)
I'm looking for proof that Hardy T. Mathis / Matthews was the son of John Thomas Mathis / Matthews and Sara Kersey. This is the family, from the LDS AF:
John Thomas Mathis, b. 25 Apr 1849, Upson County, Georgia. Married
Sara Edna Kersey, B. 7 Jun 1855, Upson County, Georgia
Children:
Luvina Mathis, b. 2 Mar 1871, Upson County, Georgia
Carrie I. Mathis, b. 14 Nov 1872, Upson County, Georgia
Hardy T Matthews, b. 8 Nov 1876, Upson County, Georgia
Martha J. (Mattie) Mathis, b. 10 Jun 1879, Pike County, Georgia
James W. Mathis, b. 20 May 1883, Pike County, Georgia
Minnie Lee Mathis, b. 19 Aug 1890, Pike County, Georgia
(FGS down below)
Hardy is only with his family for one census, the 1880. He married Alice Malinda Adams in 1898. The family started spelling "Mathis" as "Matthews" sometime between 1860 and 1900. I have tried these searches in the LDS 1880 with no luck:
=========================================
(Name, birth year, county. I always limit it to Georgia, use +/- 5 in the birth year and make sure "Exact spelling" is NOT clicked. The LDS wizards make sure "Mathis" comes up along with "Matthews", "Mathews" and "Maddox".)

Find Lewis J. Mathis in Red Bone, Upson, Ga. (JT's father), click on "household view", click "Next household" 100 times.
Repeat with "previous household".
======================================================
Given the birth dates of the Martha (1879) and James (1883) in Pike County, he's probably there under some sort of odd spelling, but I can't find him. I checked Upson, too, in case the AF was wrong on the birth county. Has anyone found John and Sara on the 1880?
Does anyone happen to have something else that proves Hardy's parents?
